10:71-1.2 Choice of program by applicant
(a) An aged, blind or disabled person who desires Medicaid and does not wish to receive a
money payment may apply for the Medicaid Only program. To qualify for this program,
he/she must have financial eligibility as determined by the regulations and procedures set
forth in this chapter.

(b) Persons who are neither aged, blind nor disabled qualify for Medicaid benefits when
they are determined by the county board of social services to be eligible for AFDC-related
Medicaid program. Persons whose eligibility is thus established may choose to receive
Medicaid Only benefits without accepting money payments. Regulations governing these
programs are set forth in the AFDC- related Medicaid chapter (N.J.A.C. 10:69).
